Well this way of arguing it may seem smart but it is not fully correct. Google already ships binaries compiled with Rust in Android. They are actually system services which are more critical than SQLite storage of apps. Moreover Rust versio

Even Linux hasn't "won" in those areas. It has just replaced what we would call a common API layer or a communication standard. The virtualization products are still proprietary. Servers and their firmware are too. People nee

As a Turkish speaker who was using a Turkish-locale setup in my teenage years these kinds of bugs frustrated me infinitely. Half of the Java or Python apps I installed never run. My PHP webservers always had problems with random software. U
